Capstone
SAR OT 925
This is the final course of the program. Students obtain a structured written critique in English of their Doctoral Projects from two clinical experts outside of the Sargent College faculty who have not participated in the Circle of Advisors. Students must respond in detail to the experts' feedback. Preparation of this response is expected to involve additional reading of the literature and revision or refinement of proposed methods. After the response to critique is completed, students present their proposals for innovation. This Capstone course takes place during a two-day, on-campus stay at Boston University. Students will prepare for and deliver a 90-minute presentation on their doctoral project to an invited audience from the greater Boston community. After receiving written faculty feedback from this presentation, students will formulate a written response with modifications, and/or counter-argument; and prepare a final version of the proposal that is suitable for professional dissemination.
